Beach Volley Folly

Beach Volley Folley appearing in Mario Party 5.

Beach Volley Folly (called Beach Volley Folley in Mario Party 4 and Beach Volleyball in Mario Party 5) is a one or two-player minigame found in the Extra Room in Mario Party 4. If the player selects the Ztar, he or she will get to play this minigame. The game pits two teams of two against each other in a beach volleyball match. The player or players must work their way to the top, facing six other teams along the way. If the Battle Mode is completed, Free Mode is unlocked, allowing up to four people to play together. The Birthday Cake is also unlocked and placed in the Minigame Room of the Present Room. This version of the minigame is also included in the minigame compilation title, Mario Party: The Top 100.

The game also appears in Mario Party 5. This version of the game featured different types of volleyballs for the players to use:

• A normal volleyball
• A Dice Block volleyball (the points the team receives depends on the number on the ball)
• A Bomb Ball

The player can also choose between 10-20 points in the Mario Party 5 version of this game.
